Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start Chapter 15 - 15 15 How can he dig up everything

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 How can he dig up everything?! Chapter 15: Chapter 15 How can he dig up everything?! [What has the host discovered?]

[Isn’t that just a patch of weeds?]

[Are his eyes different from ours, equipped with a scanning function?]

[Has he found it? I don’t believe it!]

Comnts flooded with skepticism.

Xu Yang took a few steps forward, parted the weeds, and revealed a patch of vibrant green leaves.

“Take a close look at these leaves, they are elongated heart-shaped, rough on both sides, and multiple stems are intertwined.”

“These are the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum.”

“Lucky , I actually found a Polygonum multiflorum.”

“Polygonum multiflorum is also pricey, the older it is, the higher the price. However, since they grow individually and in remote areas, they are generally hard to find.”

“Indeed, there are more treasures in the deep mountains!”

As Xu Yang spoke, he took a hoe out of his backpack and began to dig around the edge of the Polygonum multiflorum.

The online viewers turned into a sea of confused faces, each more baffled than the last.

How did it suddenly beco Polygonum multiflorum?

Wasn’t that just a patch of weeds?

You just said that was Pueraria Root, now you’re saying this is Polygonum multiflorum.

Why not say you’ve found ginseng then?

The drone’s cara focused on Xu Yang’s feet, showing him slowly uncovering the knobby surface of the Polygonum multiflorum.

The appearance of Polygonum multiflorum was irregular, its surface sowhat resembled a potato but was black and mostly buried in the soil.

“Look, this is Polygonum multiflorum.”

Xu Yang said to everyone.

When the viewers saw what was beneath the leaves, they finally understood that there indeed was Polygonum multiflorum.

[There really is sothing!]

[How much is Polygonum multiflorum worth?]

[Isn’t this thing quite common?]

Then, Xu Yang said, “Different regions have different varieties of Polygonum multiflorum, and the prices vary accordingly.”

“In so places, the quality is very ordinary, only a few dollars per kilogram.”

“In so places, it could be forty to fifty, even seventy to eighty per kilogram.”

“Near the Changbai Mountain, it’s more expensive, about 80 dollars per kilogram.”

“Then it depends on the size of the Polygonum multiflorum, the small ones weigh a couple of kilograms, but the big ones could weigh thirty to forty kilograms, the larger the size, the higher the price.”

“This Polygonum multiflorum, judging by the part that’s exposed, doesn’t seem big, probably weighs a bit over two kilograms.”

While speaking, Xu Yang continued to dig out the soil.

Soon, he noticed sothing peculiar.

Why did it feel like the more he dug, the more of it stayed buried?

Turns out, the part exposed initially was just a small protrusion; the real bulk was still in the soil.

This was normal.

This is deep in the mountains, and within a three-kiloter radius of this area, there are plenty of good finds, and the Treasure Compass definitely pointed to sothing good.

“Wait, sothing’s not right.”

“This Polygonum multiflorum seems not so small.”

A hint of surprise flickered in Xu Yang’s expression.

He continued digging inside, and soon, a clump of Polygonum multiflorum was completely unearthed, he picked it up and shook off the soil.

Seeing a large irregular black lump, the viewers were also taken aback.

[Damn! Such a big, black Polygonum multiflorum!]

[I heard this thing is good for the hair!]

[The host is so lucky, I’m jealous!]

[Amazing, how does he manage to dig up everything!]

The comnts stread endlessly.

At the mont, the live session reached an audience of over 2000 people, showing that everyone loved watching this lively scene.

Holding the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand, Xu Yang laughed and said,

“It’s about twelve or thirteen kilograms, such a big piece of Polygonum multiflorum should cost at least 300 dollars per kilogram.”

“Maybe even more, since Polygonum multiflorum is Chinese herbs, the older it gets, the higher the price, this must be more than ten years old.”

Xu Yang took out a plastic bag from his backpack, covered the Polygonum multiflorum with it, then put it in his backpack.

Indeed, this was a fine treasure.

At this mont, a viewer sent a comnt in the live session:

“Host, isn’t this type of behavior harmful to the ecosystem? By digging up Polygonum multiflorum like this, could it be detrintal to nature?”

Everyone’s living environnt is different, and so is their perspective on things.

Xu Yang happened to see that comnt, and he explained openly:

“The vastness of the Changbai Mountain Range is beyond imagination. Let put it this way, the impact mountain runners have on the mountain’s ecology when digging things up is no greater than the impact of a human shedding a single hair.”

“As long as it’s normal excavations, not intentional pollution or reckless deforestation, there’s virtually no impact on the forest’s ecology.”

“We live off the mountains and hold great reverence for them; while grateful for the gifts of the Changbai Mountains, we naturally protect its ecology.”

“It’s like how coastal fishern engage in sea gathering and catch marine life on the beaches—it’s the sa principle.”

“If it really cos down to it, you can think of us as herbivores in the forest, always needing to eat so Chinese herbs.”

He knew people would have such opinions; growing up in different environnts, so could not understand their need to brave dangers in the mountains in search of mountain goods to survive.

In fact, what could be dug up and what couldn’t was clearly stipulated by law, and the mountain runners only dug up the permitted Chinese herbs to sell.

Xu Yang’s situation was simply that the Chinese herbs he found were quite valuable.

Many people expressed agreent upon hearing Xu Yang’s words.

[Isn’t this supposed to be damaging to the ecosystem? Then, wouldn’t fishern going out to sea to fish also be considered damaging to the marine ecosystem?]

[Is it not normal to dig up so Chinese herbs? When the season cos, everyone here goes to the mountains to dig wild vegetables!]

[When I was a kid, I even went into the mountains to find wild fruits to eat!]

[The host’s actions, like plucking a wild herb while climbing a mountain, make almost no difference to the entire mountain range.]

Xu Yang didn’t dwell further on the topic.

It was indeed a joy for a mountain runner to find a huge Polygonum multiflorum.

It was worth at least five or six thousand yuan and could improve his own living conditions.

There were still two treasure locations he hadn’t visited.

Who knows what else he might find.

Xu Yang continued exploring in the forest, occasionally finding so herbs.

Such as Schizandra, Man Mountain Red, Siberian Ginseng, and so on.

The value of these was not very high; although there were many, they couldn’t be transported out.

“As you can see, Changbai Mountains are rich in wild Chinese herbs, not an overstatent to call it a treasure trove.”

“According to official statistics, Changbai Mountains have over 2,000 types of dicinal resources, including more than 1,600 plant species, over 300 animal types, and more than 50 mineral types.”

“These Chinese herbs all grow deep in the mountains, sotis, even if we see them, we can’t transport them out.”

“It’s really a pity.”

Xu Yang was quite emotional, his words filled with longing for nature.

[How many? Over 2,000 types, that’s exaggerated!]

[My goodness, there are so many treasures!]

[This is indeed a blind spot in my knowledge, I never co in contact with this in daily life!]

[Learning new things with the host!]

A number of viewers responded with comnts.

Soon, Xu Yang located the second treasure spot.

The second treasure spot was in a swampy area, the ground was sowhat muddy, covered with tall grass that was moist.

Seeing clearly what the Treasure Compass pointed to, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

It was both a surprise and sowhat disappointing.

There, in the swamp, were several frogs comfortably basking in the sun on the grass leaves.

Their throats opened and closed, as if breathing.

Pointing ahead at the frogs, Xu Yang said:

“Look there, the treasure of the Northeast, the Forest Frog, called Snow Crab by southerners.”

“Northeast Forest Frogs are treasures, especially the toad oil inside them, known as ‘soft gold,’ fetches a high price.”

“Additionally, the at of the Northeast Forest Frog is delicious; stir-fried Forest Frog is a luxurious dish here, very tasty, but expensive.”

“These fellows are quite valuable.”

The drone captured the scene of the Forest Frogs, and those cute frogs could also be seen by the netizens.

The skin of the frogs looked smooth and relatively clean, much cleaner than their toad cousins.

As soon as they heard that these frogs were valuable, many imdiately comnted:

[Host, what are you waiting for, go catch those frogs, you’re making anxious!]

[So many treasures and you’re not catching them?]

[Frogs are valuable now, and the ones you’re talking about have toad oil and are also used in cooking, definitely more valuable!]

[Each must be worth dozens at least!]

Xu Yang glanced at the comnts and shook his head helplessly.

You want dead, huh!

If I were to catch them, any future livestream would have to be after I get out of jail.
